After two days of being under a snowfall warning, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said Calgary, Cochrane and parts of central Alberta along the QEII highway were past the worst of the spring snow event Thursday afternoon.

As of 10 a.m. on Thursday, ECCC said Calgary International Airport received 22 centimetres, the most of the seven stations the federal agency reported.

According to Global Calgary chief meteorologist Tiffany Lizee, Calgary has seen 42 centimetres of snow this month, with the normal for March being 23 centimetres.

Calgary police said 104 collisions were reported on Thursday to 4 p.m., including 20 injury collisions, 6 non-injury hit and runs, and two hit and runs that resulted in injuries.
